Greenwood is a subway station on the Line 2 Bloor–Danforth in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at the southwest corner of Linnsmore Crescent and Strathmore Boulevard just north of Danforth Avenue.
The entrance, collector's booth and bus bays are at street level, with stairs and escalators to a lower concourse level which provides a passage between the platforms on the level below. The station building has two bus bays, and its bus terminal is located outside the fare-paid area. Single escalators operate in an up direction at all times. Wi-Fi service is available at this station.
Greenwood opened in 1966 as part of the original segment of the Bloor–Danforth line. It is one block east of Greenwood Avenue, the closest major intersection, after which it is named.




Station access upgrades


Construction to make the station's main entrance wheelchair accessible by adding two elevators had begun by the fourth quarter of 2021. One elevator will link the street level to the concourse level and the eastbound platform; the other elevator will link the concourse and the westbound platform. Construction is expected to be completed by mid-2025.




Subway infrastructure in the vicinity


Between Donlands and Greenwood stations is a full, grade-separated, double-track, underground wye junction, allowing trains from either direction to enter and exit Greenwood Subway Yard via the Greenwood Portal. The yard is located at ground level on the west side of Greenwood Avenue, south of Danforth Avenue and north of Gerrard Street East.

Second exit



In July 2010 the TTC announced plans to add second exits to two subway stations on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth. These exits were recommended after a fire safety audit due to the stations only having one primary means of emergency access and egress.
The planned construction would see a new exit-only structure built at surface level on Strathmore Boulevard. In order to build the exits, the TTC planned to expropriate residential land and demolish a home in the area. This decision proved to be controversial in the affected neighbourhoods and after some public outcry the TTC stated that they would review their plans.
The TTC accepted the City Ombudsman's report that these projects were not handled well by staff on two counts: community outreach, consultation and explanations about the technical and engineering decisions made by staff; and how the TTC communicated with residents whose properties were most affected.
After consultation, the community was largely supportive of recommended new location. Second exit construction was scheduled to begin in 2017 and was to be combined with elevator installation to minimize impact on passengers and the community. The TTC promised to engage the community well before proceeding with these projects.
A local working group made up of community volunteers met to discuss the potential location throughout 2017 and 2018 and selected 1416 Danforth Avenue as the community's recommended location for a second exit. As of March 2021, this recommendation is under consideration by the city and the TTC; the construction timeline for the elevators and second exit project has not yet been announced.
